Let's divide 8729 by 36
We want to figure out the number of times 8729 can be divided by 36.

Moving on to step 1:
36 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 36

Let's proceed to step 2:
36 can be fit into 87 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 72 from 87, we get 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 36

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 152 by 36, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 144 from 152 to get 8.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 89 / 36

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 89 by 36, we get 2 with a remainder of 17.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.0
Deduct 72 from 89 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 170 by 36, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 242.4
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 144 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
36 goes into 260 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 242.47
Subtracting 252 from 260 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 36, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 242.472
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 36 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 242.4722
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 242.4722 and a remainder of 8e-05.
